Frosty in most of Oklahoma their wheat is headed.
But the big one is Easter Sunday. If it freezes the two weeks after that then major damage will occur.

And the solution would be??? - more factory farmed fish!!
Over fishing is a huge problem Kato and one that has been looming for a while. There is also the whole aspect of how fish fit into our global ecosystem. I saw it discussed somewhere that the negative effect global warming was having on the polar bear population threatened mankind - less polar bears means the population of seals would explode leading to almost extinction of fish populations which in turn would lead to the oceans being brought to a point of collapse due to plankton
overload!!
It is all connected at some level and unfortunately mankind's solution is to turn a blind eye - ramp up industrial, fossil fuel fired food production. Grow more beef, more grain, more fish in less space and who gives a @#%% if the food produced is unhealthy, full of chemicals or hormones that might sterilize the next generation of humans? You only live once - right?
Sustainable - not!
